Nagomitei

Part of the fun of ordering chicken tail is choosing how it is seasoned: salt, sauce or yuzu pepper. One diner who tried it described it as “very delicious”. For a taste of several cuts, there is also an assorted yakitori platter with 8 varieties.

Nagomitei is an izakaya with more than yakitori on the menu: options range from light bites such as edamame and assorted pickles to hot pots and noodles. A visitor who stopped by for an after-party in Honjo-Azumabashi ordered assorted pickles, edamame and corn butter, along with drinks. For a more substantial meal, consider the sauced yakisoba packed with meat and vegetables, ramen, or a hot pot with a choice of miso or ponzu.

The restaurant is open from 5:00 in the evening until 3:00 the following morning. Happy hour runs on weekdays from 17:00 to 19:00. It is a handy option for a late meal or a relaxed evening of drinks and several small dishes.
